    Thank you everyone. This was my first cook documented in pictures. Through the tips found in these threads, you all have inspired me and have taken my cooking ability to the next level. My family thanks you as well. As a result, I decided share some food porn since it is so welcomed, and in fact, encouraged here.

    You got it @Logchief!
    When I first made this, there was no ginger or lemongrass, and the dish was so much "heavier" to me after I was done eating it. I would eat a "smaller" portion size of this dish, and I was uncomfortably full. I had that "I am sooo stuffed I do not want to move" feeling. Then, recalling  something I read in a fishing magazine of all places, I added some ginger to the list of ingredients.  Bingo, it worked as I had hoped. I do not think it made a difference with the taste, but rather it has some gastronomic affects on people. It is hard to explain, but although I was certainly full, the ginger, and now this time lemongrass as well, makes the meal "lighter" to the stomach. We all know there is a ton of fat in short ribs, and I think the ginger and lemongrass somehow helps your stomach combat all that fat. Maybe this is all part of the scientific and chemistry aspects of cooking I am just starting to find interest in, but for right now, I just know it works for me and my family.
